How to install Nginix + Postgres + PHP

I think I have nginix and postgres installed. I just mentioned those because I don't want to install PHP for apache2 or mysql.

I guessing it won't hurt anything to install all that apache2 stuff, or sqlite3, but I would prefer to install just for nginx and postgres.

Re: How to install Nginix + Postgres + PHP

Try using 'apt install php7.0 apache2- apache2-bin-'. apache is just a recommends in php7.0, so it should be possible to install php without apache.

Re: How to install Nginix + Postgres + PHP

It's an hard dependency :

apt-cache show php7.0
Package: php7.0
Version: 7.0.33-0+deb9u8
Depends: libapache2-mod-php7.0 | php7.0-fpm | php7.0-cgi, php7.0-common

So, instead of installing a meta package you should install packages independently like https://hostup.org/blog/how-to-install- … debian-10/

Re: How to install Nginix + Postgres + PHP

No problem. I just installed PHP with the apache2 stuff. I don't think it will hurt anything. I think there is some other PHP package I'm supposed to install for Postgres, I am not sure if I have that.

Although I have Nginx installed, I do not have it configured. All the documentation that I am finding is for debian/ubuntu. Does anybody know of any documentation for Nginx that will work with Devuan?

I removed apache2. Trying to follow the instructions here:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati … r/nginx.md

Still having trouble.

Re: How to install Nginix + Postgres + PHP

Are you sure your config id ok? You can test it with -t flag (or -T).
Is apache running and serving in port 80?

edit:
Just tested installing ngix and that was all I had to do. worked out of box.
So I think you have apache running. Try stopping apache service.

edit2:
The raspberry intructions seemed legit. Digitalocean ( https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ … ntu-16-04) has similar instructions with some security settings. Just replace systemd commands with sysv equivalents.

Re: How to install Nginix + Postgres + PHP

Apache2 was running, but I shut it down and removed it.

I re-installing nginx.

I may have nginx somewhat working.

in the /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default file, there was a # in front of a } where there should not be:

       
 location ~ \.php$ {
                include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;

# With php-fpm (or other unix sockets):
 fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
# With php-cgi (or other tcp sockets):
#   fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
# }

I am not sure how that got there, but I removed that.

Also in the /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default file, when trying to fix it (I guess), I uncommented these two listen statements. So I re-commented them.

server {
	# listen 80 default_server;
	# listen [::]:80 default_server;

It will load an html file, but not a php file. When I try to load 'index.php' which just contains <?php echo phpinfo(); ?>  I get a '500 Internal Server Error'. Not sure why.

I added index.php to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default

# Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP
index index.php index.html index.htm;

I also installed php-fpm

# apt install php-fpm

# whereis php-fpm
php-fpm: /usr/sbin/php-fpm7.0

# ls /var/run/php/
php7.0-fpm.pid	php7.0-fpm.sock

# cat /var/log/nginx/error.log
2020/08/20 15:09:14 [error] 21338#21338: *1 rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting to "/index.html", client: 127.0.0.1, server: myserver, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", host: "127.0.0.1"

I think those listen lines should be enabled.

Re: How to install Nginix + Postgres + PHP

I backed up my /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default file, and used the one you posted. I started nginx, and got this:

# cat /var/log/nginx/error.log
2020/08/21 09:52:07 [emerg] 7888#7888: a duplicate default server for 0.0.0.0:80 in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default:22

When I comment those lines out, nginx will run, and it will load an html file, but it will not load a php file.

Re: How to install Nginix + Postgres + PHP

I blew the entire thing away. Removed the entire /etc/nginx directory.

I thought an apt install would install that directory, but it doesn't. May be just as well. Beyond frustrated.

Re: How to install Nginix + Postgres + PHP

I could not let it go.

I reinstalled files, and got it working.

I am not even sure of what all I did.

In the snippets/fastcgi_params file, I replaced 'include fastcgi-php.conf' with 'include fastcgi_params'

Then, I had to add a /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params file, which I copied from a sample file on the nginx site.

Still not working for Moodle. Nginx will not load javascript.

I tried nginx, a long time ago, and found fairly easy to use. Now I am finding it extremely difficult.

Re: How to install Nginix + Postgres + PHP

I've got it working time ago:

http://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=2405

This howto is in spanish because i wrote it for the developers of EterTics (Argentina). It may be a bit obsolete, but you can find there the configuration I used.
On the other hand, you don't need to remove apache2. Stopping it is enough.

By the way, SteveT has a tutorial about nginx in his website:

just install php-fpm and remove apache* packages. you don't need the complete php7.0 metapackage with nginx.  just necessary php modules and php-cli if you need to also run php commands by hand.
